Rental homes in Voorthuizen, Barneveld

What does a rental property cost in Voorthuizen?

Voorthuizen is a village where most people own their homes: 71% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, and only 29% is rental. Of those rental properties, about 20% are owned by housing associations, while 9% are in the hands of other landlords. This makes the supply in the private sector quite tight. In the past twelve months, 27 rental properties in Voorthuizen were let in the private sector (excluding social housing), with an average rent of €1,309 per month. The range varied from €750 to €2,000 per month, with an average area of 109 m². Compare that to the average WOZ value of €448,000, slightly higher than the municipal average of €434,000 in the municipality of Barneveld. For an up-to-date picture of available properties and daily prices, see the overview at the top of this page.

That limited availability in the private sector means you need to act quickly when something becomes available. Renting an apartment in Voorthuizen is particularly difficult: the village largely consists of single-family homes and terraced houses. If you want more choice, you can also look at the broader supply in the municipality of Barneveld, where the market is slightly more spacious.

Voorthuizen: village character with a strong community

On Buurtje.nl, Voorthuizen scores 8.6 out of 10 based on resident reviews. What immediately stands out are the perfect tens for community, education, and amenities. Residents emphasise the close-knit village feel: "the community is really strong here, you know your neighbours and people look out for each other." That is no empty phrase. Voorthuizen has an active club life, from the football club to the orange society, and the annual Voorthuizer Markt attracts visitors from the entire region. See all reviews and neighbourhood data on the Voorthuizen page for a complete picture.

Daily amenities are concentrated around the Centre, where you will find supermarkets, a GP, pharmacy, and various shops. For larger grocery runs or a night out, you can drive to Barneveld or Amersfoort in fifteen minutes. Accessibility scores the lowest of all categories at 7.0, and that is fair: Voorthuizen has no train station. You rely on the bus or, as most residents do, the car. The A1 motorway is reachable via the Hoevelakenseweg within ten minutes, so for commuters heading to Amersfoort or the Randstad, it is perfectly doable.

The green surroundings are one of the major draws. With the Veluwe literally around the corner and the Zeumeren recreation area nearby, as a tenant you have direct access to nature. Neighbourhoods like the Buitengebied offer space and tranquillity, while residential areas such as De Steenkamp and the Prinsessenwijk are typical family neighbourhoods with primary schools within walking distance. Safety scores 8.0, which fits the village character: here you can still leave your bike outside without worry. However, it is good to know that Voorthuizen has a Christian-conservative character. Sunday rest is still observed by many residents, and you notice that in closed shops and a quiet street scene on Sundays.

Renting in Voorthuizen: for families and those seeking peace, less so for starters

The figures speak clearly: the largest group of households consists of families with children (1,885 households), and the largest age group is 45 to 65 years. Renting a house in Voorthuizen is therefore most interesting for families looking for space and a safe environment, and for older tenants who appreciate the tranquillity of the Veluwe. With an average income of €36,800 and rents in the private sector around €1,309, you do need an above-average income to rent here comfortably. For starters or singles with a smaller budget, the supply is limited, especially since few apartments become available.
